Jan 11, 2005

It’s not every day a person in your math class ends up being your creative partner. But that’s what happened with Lindsay Cibos and Jared Hodges. As a team, they’ve published several books, including the three-volume OEL manga Peach Fuzz, winner of the Rising Stars of Manga contest from Tokyopop. The two told GraphicNovelReporter about their work process, how they got started, and the inspiration for their fictional ferrets.

Hope you all had a great holiday! I had a nice combination of family celebrations, gift giving/receiving and reading/relaxing. I made just one New Year's Resolution --- I am not going to finish any book that I am not enjoying. I have had no need to break my resolution thus far. I have read some really terrific books over the last few weeks from both debut and well-known authors.

Thanks to all of you who shared the special holiday celebrations that your groups enjoyed with us. Appreciation also to those of you who wrote with your thoughts about the movie based on THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN. One of my favorite comments was from Geneva Oladele, who shared this about her group. "In November we started reading THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN. Then in December we came together to celebrate Eddie's birthday as well as Christmas. The November host had made a cake in memory of Eddie with a Ferris wheel on it to represent his carnival life. We watched the movie and discussed it." I enjoy hearing ideas like this.
